Play Like A Guy

Staying Strong

Jacob POV

For the rest of the time I had with Jada we spent it rebuilding our relationship. We did everything we love to do and just enjoyed each other a company because we knew we wouldn't be with each other forever and then came the real challenge. Seeing them again and falling into our old ways. Jada talked about her future as I packed.

Jada-Lee: I think I wanna own a company. And fashion company. Wouldn't that be cool?

Jacob: it actually would. Would you mind if I steal your dream?

Jada-Lee: thought your dream was to become a football player.

Jacob: and it is. But after that.. What will I do?

Jada nodded agreeing with me. Suddenly the door slammed open and a sweaty tried Chres walked in. He feel right on the floor as soon as he came in. Didn't bother us because we were used to it. He would come back from practice/training and fall out because of how hard he's been working. NFL is way different from College as you can see. But if he wants to meet his dream he gotta do it and he knows it. Maddie rubber her head getting out her bed walking over to him as soon as Maddie gets over there Chresanto shoots up like a possessed person from the dead standing up like he wasn't tired. He would walk Maddie back to the bed and lay her down. Didn't matter how tried he was. He would take care of Maddie and the baby first. Now thats goals.

Jordan POV

I begin frustrated. I threw my helmet on the ground and yelled out to frustration. EJ ran over to me. As I had an mental breakdown.

EJ: babe calm down. I know your upset but it will come around.

I pushed him off of me and got up picking up the football and throwing it with all my might. I watch the football disappear in the sky.

EJ: you wanna go running? Get your mind off of this? I got a great place to help.

Jordan: where?

EJ: I'll show you.

He grabbed my hand and started running pulling me with him. I followed him as he started running.

About some time later I found myself on a hill looking out unto the campus.

EJ: you know how after practice I disappear?

Jordan: yeah..

EJ: I come here and clear my head. Get all my worries out.

Jordan: do you ever just come here to cry?

I asked starting to feel my water works rush down my cheek.

EJ: sometimes. I came up here to cry when Chresanto leaved.

I bushed out into tears. EJ hugged me pulling me in. I cried on his jacket and he hugged nr tight.

Jordan: EJ I just wanna give up! I get trampled almost every game. I know its football but I'm not as tough as these guys and I swear there going to break me like a twig! If I don't stop now I might just break myself forever.

EJ: Jordan do you even hear yourself? You don't sound like the real Jordan. The real Jordan would be proud that she made it this far. The real Jordan would try her best everytime. The real Jordan wouldn't give a fuck about those guys on the field because the love of this team is greater and stronger then all of the guys combined. And together er can take them down. One by One.

Jordan: EJ I may be strong but I feel weak.

EJ: look there's certain things guys do better. It just a proven fact. Guys run faster guys are typically strongrr but women? Women are smarter. And we all know that braids wins every time. If a guy is charging at you at a 90 degree angle you have the smarts to figure out how to quickly calculate in your head to avoid that hit. I see you do it almost every play. I know you have it in you. Don't get destracted by what they have and what you don't. Because then you'll never exceed. You'll be to focused on what they have and what you don't. But use what you have to to beat them to it. Trust me they'll never see it coming.

I nodded whipping my tears as I stopped crying.

EJ: and honsetly... I'm teaching you how to "play like a boy" but honsetly its already in you. Sooo how about this while start working out and I'll train you like I train myself. To get stronger. Ok?

Jordan: ok coach.

EJ smiled laughing.

EJ: your welcome.

Jordan: I like your speech there. You could be a public speaking and a really good dad.

EJ: you trying to tell me something?

Jordan: no I'm not pregnant.

We laughed walking back to the dorm.

Jordan: you also look really good.

EJ: I do huh?

He flexed and I laughing looking away.

EJ: why you looking away? I'm turning you on?

I shook my head looking forward.

EJ: bruh why you lying.

He picked me up throwing me over his shoulder. Running towards his dorm.

Jordan: what about our practice?

EJ: we're still practicing. Your going to learn how to ride a dick.

Jordan: you know I know how to do that.

Ray POV

Ray: it seems like so much has happened in these pass months.

Sam: yeah I know. Ray I'm going to
Be honset with you. I'm going to be a really busy person... But I really do try to make time for you it's just when I do I'll get tired and fall asleep or I realize I have something to do or I have to work. And I just want to make sure that your up to the challenge..

Ray: nah I understand. I know you wanna be really successful and I'm here for the ride its just sometimes I really need you and your not there.

Sam: I know and I'm sorry for that.

Ray: sometimes I wonder if we should take a break. So you could get back on track and when you do get back together.

Sam: No. No. hell no! The thing that would make me fall apart is loosing you. Not knowing that your not there that your not mine is a scary ass feeling. I never want to feel like that. Say we'll never break up.

Ray: we'll never break up.

She smiled and I smiled back into the camera. I wanted to see her again even tho she just leaved a couple of days ago.. I already miss her.
